"I am new to citing sources and I would like to know how would you cite a family tree web site like Myheritage, or one I have that is a family member's website?"
My response to Dawn included:
I used the "Family Trees, documented" source template in RootsMagic to craft this source citation.
A source citation for a specific person and a specific Fact on a Family website, like on MyHeritage, might be:
"MyHeritage Family Trees", family tree database, MyHeritage (http://www.myheritage.com : accessed 14 December 2012), "Randy Seaver's Genealogy Research (http://www.myheritage.com/site-family-tree-1742741/randy-seavers-genealogy-research)," Randy Seaver's residence in 1944-1946; submitted February 2012 by Randall J. Seaver, [contact information for private use], Chula Vista, Calif. USA 91911.
The master source elements include:
